Social Media: DNA Videos Rock

While pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies have been reluctant to use social media, Bio-Rad, Applied BioSystems and other life sciences reagent and instrumentation companies have jumped on the YouTube video train with reckless abandon.

A quick perusal of the molecular biology-related videos on YouTube reveals several scintillating titles like “Do the Double Helix,” “DNA Replication Rap,” and my personal favorite from Bio-Rad, “The PCR Song” (see video below)

 

 

Until next time....

Good Luck and Good Watching !!!!

Biotech in Canada Eh!

For those of you interested in the Canadian biotechnology scene I want to mention a good resource that I came across recently. The Canadian BioTechnologist 2.0 Blog (http://cbt20.org) has its sights set on helping to advance the development of the Canadian Biotechnology sector and the people who study biotechnology and life sciences at the college and university level and bench scientists and technicians who work in the field across the country.   

Readers are invited to contribute content: posters, tools, research and presentations, articles white papers, multimedia, music downloads and entertainment, conference announcements, videos.

The site is sponsored by the Canadian operation of Bio-Rad so it has a good selection of non-commercial content from the company including papers, tools, workshops and for fun some of their recent music videos. The blog manager, Howard Oliver of What If What Next  a Toronto based  Web 2.0-PR firm has done a great job of collecting content that covers Canadian biotechnology news and useful tools and career information for bench scientists and technicians and students.

Do drop by The Canadian BioTechnologist2.0 Blog (http://cbt20.org) to learn about the Canadian scene and get your voice heard.

 Until next time,

Good Luck and Good Jo
